Weekend sewing
Whew, I just got there, I have finished my March Farmer's Wife blocks, the last two are #51 Hovering Birds and #52 Hovering Hawks.so I have 23 blocks in total. On Wednesday evenings I have been going to a two hour quilt class where I have been working on my Vignette shoo fly blocks. I was happily sewing away with only two left to piece when my sewing machine died! Thankfully I have plenty of hand sewing to carry on with until it is fixed, my Home Sweet Home penny rug with Melody was the perfect choice. Part three was to add a school house, I think the builder forgot his plumb line when my school house was built, it is rather wonky!! Wendy xx

Pretty cute school house even if it is a tad wonky!
ReplyDeleteI am wanting all your FWQ blocks, they look fabulous. Are they all from scraps or do you have fabrics picked out specially?
